My current fireworks quilt is mostly done, just the fmq to be finished and sew the sections together. The Art Show it'll be entered in is August 8th, so my deadline is fast approaching.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! :D:D:D
I love the blocks, but when you add on the quilting :shock: it kicks it up even another notch!!!

Ohhhhhh, Ahhhhh! :lol:
Beautiful!! Are there any blue ones?? It sure is spectacular.

Thanks for the sneaky peek. This is stunning work. I love the purple and gold but they're all fantastic. CAn't wait to see them all together. Is this your own design?

WOW! Is this paper pieced. I absolutely love it.

fabulious! I wish I was more advanced I might try that!

Wow! Those are fabulous. What pattern did you use?

WOW -- that's just spectacular!! :D :thumbup: :thumbup:

OMG....that's beautiful!!

Wow, this is certainly a gorgeous fireworks quilt. Wow. It is spectacular.

Beautiful!

wow and double wow

Yes, it's paper pieced, however the smallest two, blue and purple (not shown here yet) are fused. The red one got so thick with all the seam allowances piles on top of each other, I just could see making more even smaller than that one, which is 9" diameter finished. The pattern is by Pat Wolfe and I found it in American Quilter magazine last Nov. She had one 20" star block, framed with a black batik background. I changed it up by making 7 more and changing the sizes, so they range from 6" diameter to 20" diameter.
There are 8 stars each a different color: turquoise, pink, red, yellow, blue, green, orange and purple. Some or all also have gold metallic fabric &/or thread as part of their design. Still lots more stitching to do. I will post a pic. of the finished quilt, when it get's to that point- a month from now?

Absolutely beautfiul...even prettier than real fireworks!

Wow - fabulous!! You will surely do well at the Art Show! Hope so.

Love the colors against the black , really makes it POP :mrgreen:

Can't wait to see it finished :thumbup:

I hope you get to keep this one. It is just fantastic!

I could look at it all day...........

oooooooooo pretty pretty pretty.

Can't wait to see the whole thing! It will be spectacular for sure!

Very pretty!

Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Years above my ability...

WOW! Now THAT is some nice piecing and quilting!!! Excellent!

Oh yes, it'll stay in my house and go up on the tall wall in the loft. That's the only space large enough for this since it's almost as big as a queen size quilt, but meant for the wall not a bed.

I don't have a preference--I love them all! Great work!

Double WOW. love the colors great texture Can't wait to see it finished.

What an incredible quilt this is going to be! I can't believe how gorgeous your work is. Amazing work!

Wow!! Kind of expected the first two, but the third (green) is something else in the best of all ways!

OMG!!!!!!! that is crazy amazingly cool. I love it beyond counting. I can't wait till I can do that skill level.
